Debbie Bryan is one of the coaches that we found this month and we did a little interview with her. She impressed us with her expertise and straightforward approach.

She started as a coach in a call centre and she fell in love with helping people find clarity and direction. After 25 years she still holds the same passion for helping her clients.

Last year she qualified as an NLP master practitioner. She is using her coaching experience, no BS and result oriented approach to bring her clients success and develop bite sized strategies so they can reach all their goals.

She has escaped from a near death outcome 12 years ago by just taking 2 steps that saved her life, she was left with badly broken leg, 2 plates and 22 screws. In that moment she realized that we are more resilient and stronger than we might tend to think. Here is what she said.

Meet Life Coach Debbie Bryan:

Name: Debbie Bryan

Pillar: The Mind

Who is this coach for: Anyone, especially entrepreneurs who want to get clarity and bite sized strategy about their business and goals.

How they can help: By using a combination of NLP, coaching, and personality styles.

First of all, how are you and your family doing in these Pandemic times?

Post pandemic we are doing great, back to normal and appreciating each other’s paths.

How does the coronavirus pandemic affect your clients? Did it affect you at all?

Massively, there was so much panic and confusion with entrepreneurs, that we started a “done with you” service, where we taught them side by side, subjects such as online marketing, sales skills and how to keep the overwhelm and panic at bay.

What are the biggest lessons that you learned in this pandemic?

Evolve Evolve!

Nothing is insurmountable, you might need to break it down into small bite size pieces, which we call “How To Eat An Elephant”, one bite at a time.

The Origin:

Tell us about you, your career, how you started with your coaching career?

I started as a Coach in a call centre 25 years ago and fell in love with helping others to get clarity and understanding.

My coaching has evolved to entreprenuers working with them to bring more revenue into the business and get a better understanding of their wants and needs to full circle back into the corporate world, helping CEO’s and managers to cope with all of today’s headaches such as hybrid working, lack of talent in the market place, and burnout.

I qualified last yeat as an NLP Master Practitioner which my clients love.

What was your biggest obstacle that you had to overcome in your life that made you who you are today?

My biggest obstacle was 12 years ago and I escaped from a near death outcome by just taking 2 steps, that saved my life.

This left me with a badly broken leg, 2 plates and 22 screws. Running a business and recovering gave me a strength and resilience I didnt realise I had.

I want everyone to understand they are stronger than they can ever imagine, however, maybe not in the same way!

The Coaching Style:

How do you innovate with coaching your clients?

One of my most successful coaching days are the Secret CEO Vip Day, an opportunity for a CEO that is struggling but wants to appear strong to the team.

On these days we completely off grid from the business and unpack all the problems, understand them and what is causing them and put them back together over one day, it is so powerful, however, as I sign an NDA I dont advertise and it is referral only. If you need it, someone will tell you to apply.

What’s unique about your coaching approach?

My clients like that I am straight talking, action taking, and don’t take any excuses, tough love, if they want to achieve something, then we make that happen for them.

I have been called the procrastination police once or twice.

What benefits do your clients get after working with you?

Clarity, direction, a bite sized strategy and results, always results.

Do you use any specific tools to be efficient with your clients?

I use a combo of NLP, 25 years of coaching, and a unique approach to personality styles.

If you understand your self, then you can make magic happen with others.

The Impact:

If you had a super megaphone that, when you speak into, the whole world will hear your message, what would you say?

I want a big life and I will not settle for anything less.

Recognise that your ordinary is someone else’s extraordinary.

What is the greatest lesson you have learned in your life?

That I can do anything I really want to, If I really want to, there is always a way.

Your final thoughts?

Keep going even if times are tough, recognize what help is out there and ultimately you will win, no question.
